| book description |

Graham Greene, known for his iconic novels, also wrote extraordinary short stories. Here some of the best have been arranged into pairs - to be read as a duel or duet - by novelist and Greene aficionado, Yiyun Li. Twenty-two of Greeneâ€™s very best stories are collected here, each of them bearing the hallmark themes that characterise his great novels: innocence and vengeance, love and hate, pity and violence. Writer and Greene aficionado, Yiyun Li, has arranged the stories into pairs, to be read together in contrast or in harmony â€“ as a duel or a duet. In doing so Li draws out the extraordinary power in Greeneâ€™s work, creating an ingenious new perspective on a writer we thought we knew. Unexpected, surprising and wide-ranging, this is the short fiction of one of the twentieth centuryâ€™s greatest and most adored storytellers, revealing his brilliance as never before. â€˜No twentieth-century writer had a subtler mind for human comparisonâ€™ Zadie Smith â€˜Greene had wit and grace and character and story and a transcendent universal compassion that places him for all time in the ranks of world literatureâ€™ John le CarrÃ© 'One of the most important British writers of the twentieth century' Daily Telegraph â€˜A superb storytellerâ€™ New York Times â€˜One of the finest writers of any languageâ€™ Washington Post â€˜One of our greatest authorsâ€™ Independent SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY YIYUN LI
